Tata Motors has finally launched the much-awaited petrol powertrain on its flagship SUVs, the Harrier and Safari. The Harrier was launched back in 2019, and ever since its launch, a petrol engine was desperately needed, and Tata took its own sweet time to launch the petrol version.

Let’s take a look at everything that both cars have to offer.

Exterior 

The Tata Harrier and Safari remain unchanged from the outside. Both cars continue with similar design elements like connected LED DRLs, LED projector headlights, LED fog lights with cornering function, LED connected taillights, skid plates embedded in the front and rear bumpers, and rear fog lights. 

From the side, both the SUVs run on 19-inch alloy wheels, get body claddings, and roof rails to complete the overall muscular stance of the car. The option of a dual-tone roof colour is also available. 

The Harrier gets a new colour scheme of Nitro Crimson with a black roof, which is only limited to the Fearless Ultra petrol variant. 

Interior 

Tata Harrier Petrol Interior

Step inside the Harrier petrol and the first thing you will notice is the new interior theme. The cabin in the top-end petrol model is finished in a Signature Oyster White & Titan Brown theme. The use of this light colour adds an airy feeling inside the cabin with a touch of plushness. The overall dashboard layout remains the same as the diesel versions. Taking the centre stage is a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, below which is the touch panel for AC controls. Also new is a sliding armrest for added comfort. The rear seats get window sun blinds and a winged comfort on the headrests. 

Tata Safari Petrol Interior

Inside the Safari petrol, the overall layout is identical to its diesel counterpart. What's different is a new Oyster White & Gold Interior theme, which feels a lot more premium. At the centre is a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment screen along with a touch panel for AC controls. A new sliding armrest is also part of the package. The second row of seats comes with window sun blinds, a winged comfort on the headrests, and ventilated captain seats in the six-seater configuration.
